Electrician & Plumber for Businesses in Crete

Fast, tidy electrical, plumbing and A/C work for shops, offices, cafés and restaurants, planned around your opening hours.

Commercial Electrician, Plumber & A/C Technician for Shops, Offices and Restaurants

For a shop, an office, a café or a restaurant in Crete, a technical problem is never just a repair. When the lights in the shop go out, the fridge stops cooling, the toilet for customers is blocked or the A/C gives up on a hot July afternoon, you lose customers, stock and time. And with the summer rush in the tourist areas, there is rarely a quiet moment to wait for someone who may or may not turn up.

I am Gino, a Belgian-certified electrician, plumber and heating & cooling technician with over 20 years of experience, working from Hersonissos. I help small businesses with the installations that keep them open: lighting, sockets, fuse boxes, kitchen plumbing, toilets, A/C and cooling. Because I cover all of these trades myself, you have one person to call, and the problem is solved by someone who sees the whole picture.

I plan work around your business, not the other way round. Small repairs can often be done during opening hours without disturbing customers, and noisier or bigger jobs I do early in the morning, after closing time or on your day off. I communicate clearly in English or Dutch, and I give you a price before I start.

What I do for shops, offices and restaurants

  • Electrical repairs: a dead socket behind the till or a tripping circuit gets found and fixed before it costs you sales.
  • Lighting: bright, efficient shop and terrace lighting makes products look better and lowers your power bill.
  • Fuse box upgrades: coffee machines, ovens and A/C need enough capacity and proper protection to run together.
  • Rewiring: older premises often have tired wiring that cannot handle modern equipment safely.
  • Kitchen plumbing: sinks, dishwashers, grease and supply lines in a professional kitchen have to keep working at full speed.
  • Drain unblocking: a blocked customer toilet or kitchen drain is cleared quickly so you can keep serving.
  • A/C installation & service: customers and staff stay longer and work better in a cool shop or office.
  • A/C repair: when cooling stops in the middle of summer, I come out fast to find the fault.
  • Appliance installation: fridges, display coolers, water heaters and machines are connected correctly and safely.
  • CCTV and alarms: cameras and alarms protect your premises and stock when you are closed.

How I work with businesses

Every business is different, but the way I work stays simple and predictable:

  • You call or send a WhatsApp message with a short description and a few photos.
  • For urgent problems I come out as soon as I can and first make the situation safe and workable.
  • For planned work I visit, look at the installation and give you a clear estimate.
  • We agree a time that suits your opening hours, including early mornings, evenings or your closing day.
  • I work tidily, protect your floors and stock, and clean up before your first customer walks in.
  • Afterwards you get a short summary with photos of what was done.

When something stops the business

Some faults cannot wait: no power in the shop, a cold room that stops cooling, water leaking through the ceiling of the restaurant or a kitchen drain that overflows during service. In those cases I treat it as an emergency, because every hour closed costs you money. I first find a solution that lets you keep working, even if it is temporary, and then plan the final repair at a moment that suits you.

Prevention matters as much. A quick check of the A/C before summer, the fuse box when you add new equipment and the drains in a busy kitchen can save you a stressful day in high season.

Certified and practical

I am Belgian-certified as a plumber, electrician and heating & cooling technician and I work to European standards. I do not pretend to be a large contractor; I am a hands-on tradesman who shows up, explains what is wrong and fixes it properly. I work across the Heraklion region and in parts of Lasithi and Rethymno, and for bigger projects with builders or architects you can see my page for Installer for Builders, Architects & Estate Agents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you do electrical work outside our opening hours?

Yes. Bigger or noisier jobs I can do early in the morning, after closing or on your day off, so customers are not disturbed and you do not lose a day of trading.

Our restaurant kitchen drain keeps blocking, can you help?

Yes. I clear the blockage first and then look at why it keeps happening, for example the slope of the pipe, grease build-up or a missing grease trap, and advise a lasting solution.

How fast can you come if the shop has no power?

A complete power failure in a business is an emergency for me. Send a message or call, and I come out as soon as possible to find the fault and get you running again.

Do you install and service A/C units for shops and offices?

Yes. I install new units, clean and service existing ones and repair faults. For a shop I also look at where the unit blows, so customers at the counter are not in a cold draught.

Is the fuse box strong enough for a new oven or coffee machine?

Not always. Before you add heavy equipment I check the capacity and protection of your fuse box and wiring, and upgrade them where needed so everything runs safely together.

Do you give a price before starting the work?

Yes. For planned work you get a clear estimate first. For emergencies I explain what I found and what the repair involves before I continue, so there are no surprises.
